Descent of the Holy Spirit on the Apostles
​
​
Tropar Of Pentecost, Tone 8:
​
Blessed art Thou, O Christ our God, Who hast shown forth the fishermen as supremely wise, by sending down upon them the Holy Spirit, and through them, didst draw the world into Thy net. O Lover of mankind, glory be to Thee.
​
Kondak Of Pentecost, Tone 8:
Once, when He descended and confounded the tongues, the Most High divided the nations; and when He divided the tongues of fire, He called all men into unity; and with one accord we glorify the All-Holy Spirit.
Tropar - Tone 4
​
With thy virtues, as with the rays of the sun, thou didst enlighten the unbelieving philosophers; and like the most radiant moon shining on those who walk at night, thou didst drive away the darkness of unbelief. Thou didst bring the empress to faith and didst denounce the tyrant, O divinely elect bride. O blessed Catherine, with desire thou didst make haste to the heavenly bridal chamber, to Christ the most comely Bridegroom, and by Him has thou been crowned with a royal crown. Standing with the angels before Him, do thou pray for us who keep thy most honored memory.
Kondak - Tone 2
​
O ye who love the martyrs, raise up an honored chorus in godly manner; honoring the most wise Catherine; for in the arena she preached Christ and trod upon the serpent, putting down the knowledge of the rhetors.

The Orthodox Study classes are open to everyone (i.e., inquirers, catechumens, cradles and converts) and will be led by Subdeacon Dylan Kelemecz, a recent graduate of Christ the Saviour Seminary, a Carpatho-Russian seminary in Johnstown, PA. On Sunday, July 28, 2024, we will continue our discussion of the cycle of the Major Feasts of the Church.
